Zilla explains why a healthy and independent blogosphere is so vital to our liberty, and what YOU can do to empower it!

We must fight for accurate information and ignore a media with an activist, propagandist agenda.  It has gotten down to that: the media vs. the people. 

The above quote is from Pamela Geller’s article at Human Events, The Next President. It is now more important than ever to support those who fight to bring truthful information to the People, information that the media and most of our political class do not want you to know.

Consider Iowa leading up to the Ames Debate. Here is an excerpt from DaTechguy about the fact  Robert Stacy McCain has provided far better coverage of all the GOP Presidential candidates in Iowa than anyone else:

But it is his post on his site that clinches my argument

So far in Iowa, I’ve been to events for Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. If they get a couple of local TV stations and two or three newspaper reporters to an event, that’s “good coverage.” But at today’s Romney event — held at the home of a local businessman — it was a totally different level of coverage: The Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle, Gwen Ifill, Charlie Cook, Al Hunt, Carl Cameron of Fox News, etc. I counted no fewer than 12 TV or video cameras recording Romney’s speech.

That is the power of the MSM. It decides who the GOP front-runner is (and who they want it to be) and allocates coverage accordingly. Stacy McCain has covered Mitt Romney, but he has not limited his coverage to him. He has covered Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty.

This more than anything else highlights the importance of bloggers and social media, they are the best way to bypass the elites determination to convert convention wisdom into fact.  RTWT

If you watched the Ames debate on Fox News, you may have noticed that the moderators tried to make it pretty much the Romney/Gingrich/Pawlenty/Paul show, giving little time to (my first choice) Rick Santorum, or Herman Cain (and they mods were basically asses to Michelle Bachmann). They also gave a lot of attention to former Obama operative Jon Huntsman. Their coverage of the debate on the morning show Fox and Friends was even worse. Neither the hosts nor their guests even mentioned Rick Santorum from what I saw, despite the fact that he did really well in the debate. Fox, like the rest of the MSM has an agenda, and that agenda is not to report events, but to engineer their outcomes. DaTechguy further illustrates this point at the Conservatory with his great piece about Why Robert Stacy McCain Is Invaluable

Vanilla Ice impressed by Herman Cain

Washed up former Rapper Vanilla Ice issued a statement. He claims he was impressed by Herman Cain in last night’s debate!

Alright stop, collaborate and listen. Vanilla Ice has some political insight to share.

The former rapper watched Thursday’s Republican presidential debate and shared his reactions on Twitter. His favorite GOP candidate so far? Herman Cain, Cain baby.

He tweeted: “I was impressed with Cain in the debate ? But not really convinced yet by anyone ??? 15 months to go ???”

Explaining that he’s “not that big into politics,” Vanilla Ice wrote, “I just wish someone could fix this mess of economy ???”

It’s good to see Vanilla Ice actually having some understanding of politics. He’s not fallen for the Obama as savior theme.

Obama still leads every Republican contender

I keep warning Conservatives that despite our economic difficulties, Obama will be hard to beat. There is a cult of personality surrounding him. He will have the media, money and entertainment industry in his corner. The GOP candidate will be the underdog and will have to fight against difficult odds.

Bellow are poll averages from Real Clear Politics.

Obama 46.6% vs. Romney 43.4%

Obama 49.5% vs. Perry 38.7%

Obama 50.1% vs. Bachmann 38.9%

Obama 54.3% vs. Palin 36.8%

Obama 49% vs. Paul 38.3%

Obama 49.7% vs. Cain 35%

Obama 48% vs. Pawlenty 37.3%

Obama 52.5% vs. Gingrich 37.8%

Obama 50% vs. Huntsman 36%

We are not dealing with a normal politician. We are dealing with a phenomenon which has a large percentage of Americans under its spell. Don’t underestimate Obama.

To Herman Cain: Retract Your Apology to the Muslims!

Dear Ms. Carmichael:

Your press release, Cain Meets with American Muslim Leaders, was quoted here by journalist R.S. McCain:

UPDATE: The readership does not seem to approve — to put it rather mildly. In the comments below, Bob Belvedere cites references indicating that Imam Magid and ISNA are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

As readers might deduce, I was rather stunned by this press release…

It was a serious mistake for Herman Cain even to meet with Imam Magid or with anyone else affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and its myriad of front groups. It was an even bigger mistake for Mr. Cain to issue any apology for having offended Muslims in any way.

I must point out that most Americans have very little familiarity with Islamic doctrine as it exists in the Qur’an, the Hadiths, and shari’a law. Islam is not a religion in the normal sense of the word as Americans understand it. Instead, by its own definition, Islam is an expansionist, enemy, totalitarian political ideology that controls all aspects of life and seeks to eliminate everything but itself. It is incompatible with the US Constitution, with the oath of citizenship, with the oath of political office in the US, and with civilized society in general.
